“#Nets’ James Harden, DeAndre Jordan aiding storm-battered Texas<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

James Harden and DeAndre Jordan both play in Brooklyn, but have deep ties to Houston. And with Texas gripped by a power disaster, the two Nets veterans aren\u2019t forgetting or forsaking where they came from.<\/p>\n

Harden (who won the past three scoring titles playing for the Rockets) and Jordan (who is from Houston and went to Texas A&M) have been helping with relief and humanitarian efforts in that city.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have phone calls literally every day, all day trying to impact the city because they\u2019ve shown me so much love and respect in the time that I was there,\u201d Harden said. \u201cSo, I\u2019ve called Houston home. It\u2019s devastating obviously. It\u2019s probably worse than the hurricane because we just don\u2019t know how many people were affected, not having electricity not having power and aren\u2019t able to eat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harden \u2014 with help from Body Armour \u2014 is having drinking water shipped in. He\u2019s been in contact with plumbing companies patching up burst pipes, and has even been on the phone with Houston mayor Sylvester Turner.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been in contact with the mayor, mayor Turner. Just so many people that I\u2019ve known that are able to help while I\u2019m not there. Obviously, this is a huge problem but I try to impact and help as much as I can while I\u2019m out there,\u201d Harden said. \u201cAnd I\u2019ll continue that. It won\u2019t stop because there\u2019s so many people that\u2019s been affected that I can\u2019t stop.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jordan has family in the area that was impacted, although all of them are safe now. But he\u2019s also aided in humanitarian efforts for his hometown.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust for people\u2019s lives to be a little bit easier anyway that James and I can help we\u2019ve been doing things behind the scenes as much as possible. Just getting resources to a lot of the people out there whether we\u2019re there or not, just being able to help a human being out during a time like this is something we both value,\u201d Jordan said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think everybody was affected regardless of your situation out there in Texas as a whole. My family definitely was very fortunate in this time but like I said they had some times where it was tough for a little bit but everything is getting better there at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jeff Green was diagnosed with a right shoulder contusion. He\u2019ll be evaluated further Monday as the Nets return to Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

Nic Claxton, who has been out with right knee tendinopathy, was available for the first time this season but did not play.<\/p>\n

Timoth\u00e9 Luwawu-Cabarrot left the game<\/a> with a right hip contusion. Jeff Green was forced out in the final minutes after being fouled by Patrick Beverley.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
